Why a Whole Nation Would Be Constipated Without Coffee

Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick dive into the surprising relationship between coffee, constipation, and the deeper mind-body connection. Starting with a poolside conversation about why so many people rely on coffee to “go,” they unravel the root causes of sluggish digestion—going far beyond the obvious. The duo explores the powerful interplay between liver/gallbladder health and our willingness to let go of what no longer serves us, both physically and emotionally. With stories, science, and a bit of humor, they challenge listeners to stop masking symptoms and start asking better questions about their health and habits.

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Coffee Isn’t the Root Solution: Relying on coffee (or any quick fix) for bowel movements is just masking the real problem. True, lasting digestive health starts by addressing the root causes—especially liver and gallbladder function.
  2. Your Mind and Body Are Bi-Directional: Physical constipation often mirrors emotional or mental “stuckness.” If you’re holding onto anger, resentment, or old stories, your body will reflect it—sometimes literally.
  3. Quality Questions = Quality Health: If you want different results, ask deeper questions. Don’t settle for “why am I constipated?”—get curious about what you’re holding onto and how your decisions and mindset might be driving physical symptoms.

     Quotes: 

    • “You become dependent on coffee to go to the bathroom, but what you’re really doing is avoiding the real work—letting go of the shit (literally and figuratively) that doesn’t serve you.”
      • “The quality of your life is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask. If you want to change your health, start by changing your questions.”
